With Ease

inside you are
tucked in tight,
as you tuck my 
hair behind my
ear. it's hard (you
understand) to see
at all clear when
looking with my
flesh. breath
begins subtly
like warm liquid
sizzling & dripping-
yet with ease, 
breath speeds, 
inhales chasing
exhales, licking
sparks on skin. 
the response is
within, instant
bursts of flame;
i didn't think you'd
be here, but i'm
glad you came.
